Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book, but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "Dynamic Dimensional Stereo" vinyl record album, Columbia Musical Treasuries DS-486, very-good-plus vinyl in a very-good-plus cardboard jacket. The problem with Columbia Records trying to release a compilation of their greatest rock 'n roll hits in 1968 is that they barely had any rock 'n roll ACTS. Up through 1965, their A&R (talent development) manager was Mitch Miller. Yes, "Sing Along With" Mitch, who despised rock 'n roll. Almost by accident, they'd ended up with (because they were initially considered "folk" acts) Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the somewhat pathetic "Rip Chords." That could explain why the only two real "hits" here are The Raiders' "Kicks" and The Tremeloes' "Silence is Golden." Yes, "Somebody to Love" became a hit -- but for Jefferson Airplane on RCA, not this earlier rendition by Gracie's lower-key first band, "The Great Society." Meantime, why aren't the offerings from the few real (non-geriatric) stars in the Columbia stable their actual HITS? Why is the Union Gap represented here by "You better Sit Down Kids," rather than by their actual hits "Young Girl" OR "Lady Willpower"? Certainly The Cryan' Shames' "It Could Be We're in Love," The Buckinghams' "C'mon Home" (NOT "Kind of a Drag"), Moby Grape's "Omaha," The Electric Flag's "Groovin' Is Easy," The Byrds' "Goin' Back," (NOT "Mr. Tambourine Man," NOT "Eight Miles HIgh") and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy's "Turn On a Friend" are interesting mementos of the '60s. But were they ever, really, "Big Hits"? Aretha Franklin and Ravi Shankar also put in appearances, though not together (which really WOULD have been notable.) Where's Rosemary Clooney, Micth? Where's Doris Day? You know, something we can all "sing along" to? Reduced from $14.
